The medicinal material reserve system will be reconsidered by the construction industry as the deposit system

Chinese herbal medicines have been bumpy and costly, causing manufacturers to bitterly say that the call for the establishment of a deposit system for Chinese herbal medicines is increasing.

A news briefing was held at the news conference of the 2011 Annual Summit of the Chinese Medicine Industry. The relevant section is now working on the creation of a national, prefectural two-tier drugstore deposit system, and the country's emergency planning for medicinal herbs and medicines, with a view to suppressing the cost of Chinese herbal medicines at a certain level.

An industry person who refused to be named also disclosed to the reporter of the Medical Economics News: “According to my understanding, the national and prefectural two-tier drug deposits system is hopeless to be promulgated before the end of the year.”

Fear in the old

In 2010, 84% of 537 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines in the world market fell in value, evenly increasing by 109%. Since March of this year, the price drop of Chinese herbal medicines has entered the fourth time. Compared with the previous three rounds, the increase in the cost of this round of Chinese herbal medicines has doubled.

According to the results of monitoring of 537 herbal medicines in the Chinese herbal medicine Liuhe.com in September, more than half of the Chinese herbal medicines still link the downward trend. What is particularly worth saving is that the National Development and Reform Commission had forced the “clearance” of the Codonopsis two months ago. The market price is still high. The fall in the cost of Chinese herbal medicines will put a lot of pressure on Chinese patent medicine companies.

According to Guo Fanli, a research fellow at CGIS Pharmaceuticals, “Under the circumstance that the cost of the proprietary Chinese medicine terminal will not change, the Chinese medicine companies will probably cut corners and raw materials in order to obtain the cost, which will greatly affect the character of the Chinese patent medicine. The state and premise two-tier medicine deposit system can control the Chinese herbal medicine's cost to fall too quickly and slow down the pressure on Chinese patent medicine production enterprises."

According to Jia Haibin, deputy general manager of Chinese herbal medicine Liuhe.com, in addition to the cost of Chinese herbal medicines, the country’s decision on the deposit system for Chinese herbal medicines at this time is that “through planning to save money, it can handle emergencies such as disaster relief; It can also ensure that the supply of Chinese herbal medicine manufacturers will not be broken."

In fact, the strategy of saving money in Chinese herbal medicines is not a resurrection thing. “During the time of economic planning, the three-tiered savings system also persisted. Although it is more rigid, it still handles the production of major Chinese herbal medicines in the domestic market. In the preparation of economic systems, this type of savings system is still more than Li Yuecheng." Jia Haibin hinted.

According to understanding, in the 80th of last century, led by China National Herbal Medicine Company, Hainai had created medicinal materials to buy first grade seats and second grade seats, and this type of medicinal deposit system has been used to stimulate the growth of the industry.

Until the mid-1980s, this type of three-tiered savings system began to dissipate with the growth of the market economy.

Zhou Lushan, Chairman of Guangzhou Caizhilin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., also reported: “In the planning economy era, Guangdong province has also established a medicinal materials savings system under the leadership of the provincial pharmaceutical company. At that time, it performed financial assistance for corporate loans and national discounts. This can be said to be a useful form for the country to consider at the end of the year. However, many years later, great changes have taken place in all aspects. The Guangdong Provincial Pharmaceutical Company has no market."

Visible, of course, can be used to discern the medical deposit system that was once created, but it is necessary to establish a useful savings mechanism that is old and even more important.

Long-term mechanism

Faced with the cost of "high fever", the state has become more and more stressed on the calculation of Chinese herbal medicines, and the creation of the saving system has gradually been put on the agenda.

The earlier published plan for the “Tianxia Pharmaceutical Smooth Industry Growth Program (2011-2015)” clearly stated that it is necessary to create a deposit system for key species of Chinese herbal medicines.

“In the current situation of the supply system of TCM materials and materials that is out of control, it is necessary as a contingency step.” However, Jia Haibin also pointed out: “But as a long-term mechanism, the creation of the savings system is yet to be negotiated. ."

Jia Haibin stated: "Initially, the country's creation of a savings system is actually an external force. It is actually unsuitable for market economic discipline. Second, there are probably more problems to be handled in detail, such as the types of savings and the length of savings. The management of useful periods also prevents the occurrence of market illusions."

In addition to this, Guo Fanli believes that "the intermediate level and the level of the premises are facing the poor control of the cost of Chinese herbal medicines. This is due to the fact that China's region is wide and the degree of economic growth varies from region to region."

The establishment of the deposit system for Chinese herbal medicines is in full swing, and industry professionals have frequently made suggestions for this purpose.

Jia Haibin hinted: “I estimate that the medical deposit system that will be created will be different from the three-tiered savings system that was designed to save the economy. It will be a kind of 'order-style' savings, and it is also planned by the country. The form of saving."

In order to understand the problems existing in saving deposits, Jia Haibin initiated efforts in three aspects: “First, after creating such savings, we must create a long-term mechanism as soon as possible, follow the road to modern agriculture, and avoid chaos. Second, the type of savings. We must consider carefully, at the same time, we must plan to save at high price levels, throw them at low prices, and thus stabilize the market price. Thirdly, we must deal with the types of Chinese herbal medicines hit by emergency situations such as disaster relief and emergency outbreaks. Savings."

Guo Fanli also hinted to reporters: “To do this well, we must first provide an e-commerce platform that specifically collects, interprets, and publishes business information for the world's herbal medicine industry. We must be fair, open, and transparent. Second, we must also be happy. Chinese herbal medicines constitute a cost mechanism."

He replied: "The authorities should conduct a rigorous assessment of the cost of Chinese herbal medicines reported by enterprises, and deal with the actions of hoarding Chinese herbal medicines to reduce the cost of related herbs. The authorities should intervene in real time to prevent intrusion into the market; In particular, it is a type of Chinese herbal medicine that is easily controlled by hot money."

As for the choice of herbal medicine savings companies, Zhou Lushan initiated: “The state should consider state-owned enterprises with exemplary management and integrity to make savings. At the same time, it also ought to audit these companies every year, and respond according to the implementation environment every few years. The mediation." (
